Tithal is located in the west coast of India, in the state of Gujarat. It is close to the Arabian Sea and is famous for the Tithal Beach, which is known for its black sand. Tithal lies 6 km west of Valsad. Tithal is known to be the home of the Parsis, who are the descendants of the Zoroastrian group of Iran. The Parsis are known to have entered India through a port called Sajjan which falls in the district of Valsad.

Over the years the areas around Tithal Beach have turned out to be a place chosen by many saints as an ideal place to establish their ashrams. Both the temples (the Shantidham Temple and the Shri Sai Baba Temple) being close to the sea shore provide a good view of the Arabian Sea.

The Shri Sai Baba Temple is adjacent to the shore of the Tithal Beach and the daily prayers are attended by many devotees from all over the world.

Tithal, one of the my favourite destination in Gujarat. It is situated at 4 Km away from Valsad town of South Gujarat. This is virgin beach of Gujarat. If you looking for peace and relax from your routine this is the best place for you. Its less crowded beach of Gujarat.

Gujarat's coolest beach is Tithal. Swaminarayana mandir khichdi is so famous. Its water is like Goa beach.

Tithal beach is one of the most clean beaches in Gujarat state. After the promotion of beach by Gujarat tourism the beach has been developed to its peak point. Recently a sea front has been created where people can sit and enjoy the sunset. The cool breeze in the evening refreshes one's mind and relaxes the body.

For families and youngsters who want to spend a weekend at a spot- I think it may be best place to enjoy to beauty of nature. There are many hotels available in the city and also near the beach. The beach is only 7km away from railway station which is the hub of the city. There are two Hindu temples located at the spot. The swaminaryan temple is as good as the sai baba temple which are 4 km away from each other. Both the temples helps to provide inner peace by their cleanliness and area around it. Also people who are expert in swimming can enjoy the waves but must be cautious about the high tide.

It is overall very good journey. Tithal is very good place where you can visit many places like Sai baba Temple, Swaminarayan Temple, Beautiful clean beach where you can enjoy with your family. All kind of food available there. So overall it is very beautiful journey.

Tithal is a sea side small place. It is reachable, once you arrive at valsad. From there you can hire a auto to reach at resort. and also, you can reach salty beach resort since it's only resort/ hotel on tithal beach. there are two to three near by, but location is not as good as salty beach resort.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: food at salty beach resort was good one. Morning brakefast, though not much choice, still good one. one has to depend on mineral water bottles, since water is salty all around!!! over all stay at salty beach resort was good one. though no specific sight seeing is there, except beach site, but still if you love beach side, its worth a visit.!!!

Activities & things to do: just relax and chill!!! you need not do any thing. just relax -watch TV or your favourite books or magazines or stroll around!!!

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: one can reach balsad (valsad) through train or bus or taxi, and from valsad it's 10-15 minutes drive.

A small village on coast having a very very long beach patches of good spots all along the beach mixed with dirty spots, the new Swaminarayan Mandir at beach is good spot having good accommodations for their community people and restaurant like place for all. The village is small with limited activities spots. Ok for weekend for a day or two. Next is the New Saibaba Mandir built on the other end of beach having good space.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Very long beach, Good New Swaminarayan & Saibaba Mandir and two old Jain Temples away from beach. Road to Tithal from NH-8 is good.
